Heavy Cattle Shinments.

Mr.. W. B. Wilson, Montana live stock
agent of the Wisconsin Central road, who
was lately here, thinks that the Manitoba
will ship about 10000 out of Montana and
the Northern Pacific about 30,0O0Lthis,
provided that the fall remains sufficiently
open to permit the shipment of all at pres
ent intended. In addition, the local mar
ket Of Montana will take 10000 or more.
The marketing this year is pretty close, as
the majority of st~ock-groWers find it nee
essary to obtain all the money possible to
tide owe the straits occasioned by the
heavy losses of last winter.
The Big Sandy and Benton stockyards
continue busy to judge from the following
items in the Benton Rirer Press Of Satur-
day:
The North Montana Cattle Company
shipped 1874 head of beef cattle from Big
Sandy yesterday.
The judith Basin cattle drive of 800
head is now near Fort Benton. and will
cross the river at a shallow ford a short
distance above town. These cattle will be
shipped from the Fort Benton stock yards
to Chicago early next week, except 200
head which will be cut out for delivery at
Blackfoot agency on the beef contract of
I.G. Baker s. Co. For the $500 head
which will be shipped east, 100 cars have
been ordered to Fort Benton.
A. W. Kingsbury and John Green arriv-
ed to-day from the Shonkin association
beef cattle drive, which will reach the
Coal Banks tonight en- route to the Big
Sandy stock yards. This drive Of 1000
head was taken from the range east Of the
Shonkin. 1t will take one hundred cars
to take this drive to market. Mr.. John
L-pley will remain and assist in gather
ing the second drive of the Sfonkin asso-
citation, which will be taken from the west
side of the shonkin and will number 900
head more.

Col. Wheeler's Report.

Great Falls and vicinity have q lively
look, reports Col. W. F. Wheeler, just
home from his northern tour. Building.
improvements about town are many and
substantial improvements about town are.
many and substantial. The stone work on
the wagon bridge Is progressing favorably-
A temporary Spite bridge for the railroad
will soon span the river. Rapid progress
is made with the Sand Coulee branch OF
fifteen miles and the whole distance will
be graded and ironed before the end OF
November. The coal veins are being de-
veloped by a large force of miners and the
best quality of bituminous coal is coming
ont of the mines. The Colonel is satisfied
that important industries will be created
and conferred at Great Falls, growing ont
OF the wonderful water power, the ada
cent coal beds, stone quarries, etc.-He-
enc Herald.

The first express messenger is expected
daily. Dir. Gates intends to leave town
to-day. He says that the regular list of
rates is incomplete. The appointment of
MIR. Kelly and of Sam Dodd meets with
general approval. They are both well
qualified to carry out the work efficiently.
The free delivery of packages is regarded
as > decided gain for Great Falls. In
many towns people have to call ut the
offices for packages. 1t is only i'll towns
of the larger size that they are delivered
free of charge within the limits of the
business districts. The express matter is
sent by the passenger trains an the Mani
toba line, thus insuring rapid transit for
all goods especially such as are perishable.

A Change of Firm.

Hotchkiss & Hawkins, succeeding
Burch & Hotehkiss, will be the name of
the firm who will carry on business in
the Great Falls hardware store. Mr..
Hotchkiss the founder of the firm is we'll
known as a successful merchant who be-
gan business when the town wa young.
He was told that ne could not compete
with the large houses of the territory, but
he has held his ground all the same and
now has a flourishing business which is
increasing daily. His new partner, Mr..
Hawkins comes from Anoka. MINI. He
has been connected with the hardware
trade many years and is well qualified to
build up q large business here in company
with Mr.. Hotchkiss.

More Sidewalks.

The sidewalks are not all complete, but
those built SO far add considerable to the
good appearance of the streets and aren-
aes. On Central avenue there is now a
continuous sidewalk on the south side
from the Park hotel to Churchill u Web
ster's and there is boarding of some kind
all the way to Gibbons harness store.
The gap is therefore small and will dis
appear soon. At the opposite side the
gaps are larger, partly because some
houses are still in course of construction.
An excellent sidewalk has been laid. how
ever, from Meningitis TO the Phelps
block. At places it IS considerably above
the street because of the difference be-
tween the actual and the true grade.
There is q good sidewalk from Gem
tral to FIrstsavenue South on Second
street. First-avenne South needs more
sidewalks badly. The merchants are con-
WINGED that il pays to build sidewalks, as
people do not feel compelled to buy at
the nearest store when they can reach
others without walking through mud.

The Express Company.

Mr.. George Gates of the American Eg-
press Company says free delivery will be
the rule in Great Falls. Sam Doddss
wagons will collect and deliver all ex.
press matter. MI. Kelly, the Manitoba's
agent, will attend to the office affairs of
the company, which expects before long
% do . large amount Of business here.

ment Of the Manitoba line were in the city
to-day. Mr.. Atkins is handy with the pen
and sent a very graphic account of the cell
ebration at Benton to a Minot paper. Mr..
Ryan, the foreman, says that at times so
men We're employed at Minot loading ties
Forty Indians were also employed and be-
came very useful before the work was fin
ished. Mr.. Ryan is now supervising the
loading of ties for the Montana Central
and is doing that work very efficiently.

NEARLY HALF WAY.
The Montana Central Thirteen Miles
Beyond Dodge and Still Adj
yancing on Helena.

The Montana Central was Is miles be-
You'd Dodge last night. It is thus four
miles beyond the first tunnel met with on
the way to Helena. Last evening the
track was therefore 43 miles from Great
Falls and will soon be more than half way
tc Helena. Mr.. A. L. Latham SAYS that
with fine weather the track will be in
Helena by November 20. He has been
with the tracklayers from the start at
Minet.
THE UT AGENT.
Mr.. Powers, who has scored great sue
cess as the cattle agent of the Manitoba
line in the Judith Basin. made a brief visit
to town to-day.
STRUCK 4 BoDY OF ORE.
Work on the Montana Central tunnel
near Woodville is progressing as rapidly
as the bad weather will permit. Last
week, after an expulsion, a fine tt1ulify Of
ore was exposed, which is said to be of
considerable value. The ledge is about
three feet in width.

Referring to the freight rates to Great
Falls. the st. Paul Pioneer Press SAYS:
ssThese rates are destined to create the
biggest disturbance yet experienced by
the railroads since the interstate commerce
law went into effect. The figures are SO
cents per hundred pounds less to the east
ern boundary Of Montana than those of the.
Northern Pacific, and to Great Falls they
are 81 less, the Northern Pacific rate from
st. Paul to Niendive being $500. and to
Helena So. As heretofore stated the new
rates will be met by the Northern Pacific
some time in the Immediate future, but
probaly not until the Manitoba reaches
Helena. This will reduce rates from Chi
cage TO Helena, which hasaIWays been the
same via the Union Pacific as via the Nor
tllern Pacific, and the Union Pacific must
either go out of business to Helena or re-
duce the rates. e these rates are cut down
the long and short hanIciause of the inter
state commerce law requires the rates to
be scaled down at all intermediate points.
LIZ Is stated that one-eigth of all the reye-
nues of the Union Pacific is derived from
the mining industries lying around Butte,
consequently a general scaling down Df
rates e an enormous loss of income

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.l
a sufficient amount of the proper kind
of food is of prime necessity for mankind,
for animals, and for the land.
Animals that are not regularly fed with
suitable food in proper quantity cannot be
relied upon to stand severe strains. A
diet of fried pork and bread may sustain
life, but such food alone will not maintain
the highest mental and physical vigor of a
man and his family.
If the land is not properly fed with suit
able food, the farmer cannot obtain from
it the largest results
Man cannot thrive on meat alone. The
horse cannot live on corn, but must have
a variety of food, to insure health and
vigor. The land must also be fed with
variety Of vegetable food, and in large
quantities in order to obtain the best re-
turns for the labor bestowed upon it, and
for the concentrated fertilizers used.
1t is fully as important that the land
shall have vegetable matter to feed upon,
in order to produce remunerative crops, AS
for man to have vegetables or fruits for
his daily food. If the land IS well sup
piled with vegetable matter, it can appre-
ciate and use with profit "a reasonable
amount of commercial fertilizer under al
most any kind of crop If the land is not
supplied with vegetable matter, and is in
a poor and run down condition the con-
centrated fertilizer will not give certain
or profitable results.
Many farmers use from two hundred to
six hundred pounds commercial fertilizers
per acre with profit, and the largest profit
comes from the land that is best supplied
with vegetable matter.
Some portion of the crop from every acre
under cultivation should be returned to
the land each year. How can this be ac
complished with the least expense, is q
question that each farmer must determine
for himself
Is it better to feed the crops to animals
on the farm, and use barn yard manure to
enrich the fields, or is it easier to plant
peas, miliet, rye and other crops to be
ploughed under for fertllizing the land, or
cannot both methods be employed by every
farmer?
Our long seasons enables the managing
| farmer to obtain a market or food crop,
! and also manuring crop from the greater
part of his land every year. Rye can be
